Song Description

A Byrds-like jangly electric guitar riff opens the song before drums and bass crash in. A steady acoustic guitar gives the song warmth. A sweet female vocal sings with a pleading quality. The song switches to a more soulful, mildly funky rhythm for the choruses. The guitar solo introduces even more jangle.

Lyrics

I'd like to have you for a morning
Nowhere higher than the kitchen.
I'd like to take you
Without warning
And see if you could cope.

I'd like to weigh you in the balance
Just to see if you are wanting.
I'd like to challenge and confuse you,
Worry and bemuse you,
And see if there's some hope.

And all you'd have to do whenever I was through
Is open up your mouth and kill me with a song.
For all my good intentions when all was said and done
You could open up your mouth and kill me with a song.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

I'd like to keep you for a day
Somewhere underneath the heavens.
I'd like to shake you,
I'd like to make you,
Question all you've known.

I'd like to leave you there defenceless
And longing for the truth.
I'd like to send you slightly reeling
And leave you with the feeling
That I am not alone.

And all you'd have to do whenever I was through
Is open up your mouth and kill me with a song.
For all my good intentions when all was said and done
You could open up your mouth and kill me with a song.

And all you'd have to do whenever I was through
Is open up your mouth and kill me with a song.
For all my good intentions when all was said and done
You could open up your mouth and kill me with a song.
Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
